" Spike Lee has apologized for tweeting incorrect information about Trayvon Martin&amp;#039;s killer George Zimmerman. The Red Hook Summer director retweeted a message last Friday that appeared to reveal the location of Zimmerman&amp;#039;s Sandford, Florida home. The address actually belonged to married couple David and Elaine McClain, who were forced to flee their home after receiving death threats. The couple have a son named William George Zimmerman, but he had no connection to the Martin case. Lee took to Twitter on Wednesday (March 28) to offer a public apology for retweeting incorrect information. &amp;quot;I Deeply Apologize To The McClain Family For Retweeting Their Address. It Was A Mistake.Please Leave The McClain&amp;#039;s In Peace. Justice In Court,&amp;quot; Lee wrote. The McClains have hired a lawyer in the wake of the incident and were reportedly initially considering a lawsuit. They appeared on CNN on Friday (March 29) to officially accept Lee&amp;#039;s apology, but they did request a personal meeting with the filmmaker to discuss the matter. Lee has been vocal on Twitter about the killing of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who has alleged that he shot Martin in self-defense. Zimmerman has thus far not been arrested in connection to Martin&amp;#039;s death. &amp;amp;gt; Will Ferrell&amp;#039;s Trayvon Martin Twitter pledge was a hoax, says rep&amp;amp;gt; Sinead O&amp;#039;Connor pens open letter to family of shot teen Trayvon Martin "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
